The Kings Arms was situated at 35 Kings Street East. This pub is now in retail use.
The Kings Arms was on the corner of King Street East and Warren Street and dates to around 1830. In addition to being a public house, it was a police station used by the ‘Peelers’ until 1841, when a new police station was built in Vernon Street. The area was originally known as Andrew Square, named after a warehouse owned by William Andrew. After the warehouse was demolished, before the Asda supermarket development in the 1980s, it was an open square with a bus shelter and car parking. The pub, which was a Boddingtons house, closed in 1990 and is now commercial premises, with part of it used as a taxi office
